It was a very successful season. And proved to be the start of the club's rise up the pyramid, and by 2012 the new team was playing in the South West Combination under the management of Steve Tully.
Meanwhile at Cullompton Rangers LFC formerly known as Exeter City L.F.C, were formally granted a name change by Devon FA in 2006. They played their home matches at Speeds Meadow, Cullompton, Devon.
In 2011 the club folded when the manager was forced to leave and a replacement could not be found.
